At the First I'resbyierinn church yes terday morning, after the usual niieninn service and prayer by Rev. R. G. Picrson, Rev. R. F. Campbell prefaced his sermon by recalling to the congregation the fact that three months ago the members of the church had been organiz.-d into cf.m miitees for church work; and that the reports of committees had b"cn handed to him to read to the cm, creation at the close of the morning's service. Perhaps some consciences in the con gregntion stirred a little uneasilv when the nnstor read for his text Matthew. XX. 6; "Why stand ye here all the dav idle?" Mr. Campbell said Christ spoke to all christians, when he said : "Go ye also into my vineyard." "The Hible is full of such commands to Christ's people Some church tnemlwrs seem to think that when they hae hired pastor to do the church work their responsibility is sit an end. They say: 'Why should we trou ble ourselves about work we pay some one else to do fo- us ?' That is a verv low conception of pastoral work. If 1 had no higher idea ol the duties of a pas tor and the responsihilitiis of his office than thnt he is a hireling, paid to do a certain amount ol work, 1 should stop preaching this morning. "A discouraged minister once had a dream which wasn't all a dream It seemed to him that he wasjhitched toa carriage that stood deep in mud in trout of bis house. How or whv he was tncre he dida't know, but he pulh d at the car riage that wasso heavy he could scarcely move it. As he 'Irew near his chinch he lieeame exhausted; this seemed to him the more strange as he thought he had seen all the members of his congregation pushing at th back of the carriage. At last he went around to the back and there wasn't a single person there Heat ¬ ing a slight noise, he looked inside and found that every member of the congre gation was seated there. Thcv ven all riding and he was doing the pulling In cverv church there are some who want to ride. Let them get out and tro to pulling. There is work lor all. Go ! had fitted everyone for some special work, and given him that work to per form. To some mothers he lias given large families of children. Their first duly is at home the care and duty o! their children; not running about the town attending to other people's chil-' drcn. To others who have no household cares he has given the outside work ol the church. We should not complain be cause our work is not just the kind we would nave chosen. I lie church -.s like the body made up of .Werent members. each with a particular (miction to per form. When every member does its duty as it should, the body is in per fect health. The hand shwuld not com plain because it has not the work of the toot to do, nor theear because it h s not the duties of the eye. The Hible tells us How not to do the work that has been given us. We are not to do it negligently. those who perform tbeirduticscarclesslv often do more real harm than those who stand all the day idle. Some one mav say he docs not know what his work is. His attitude then should be that of I'aul, who said, ' Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?' If he will Hsk the Lord tliut question now, earnestly and prayerfully. lie will nticl au opportunity helore he leaves this house, and will meet wi h opportunities henceforth everyday of his life. "When you have found vour nork how must you do it? You have been t dd how not to do the work of the Lor.l. How is it to be done ? It should be done 'heartily as unto the Lord.' Among Jonathan lid wards' wonderful resolu tions was this one: 'Kisor.ed to live with all my might while I do live.' What a motto for our lives in this ! He faith ful about the duties not known to men, and tor whose curclul performance vou cannot expect their praise Remember that lod sees, rnd do your work as unto the Lord. Union with Christ is import ant to make religious work i (Tcctual. Some say, well whv should we work at all? In the first place, because Ch ist tells U9 to, mid that ought to be enough lor a Christian. Secondly, because we need to work. God does not need our lecblc efforts. He gives us work to do lor our own good; as the body needs physi cal exercise, the soul needs spiritual exercise. Lastly, because there is so much to be done. Ilcgin at c nee,)to lay. II inrisl telt fiat lit must ever he about his Father's business, how much niw.t ought wc to be in a hurry to work lor the Uorri. "Rememlier that 'ye knoweth neither the day nor the hour wherein the sonot man cometh. i), when the Lord comes and calls his servants to uccouut ni iv he lie able to sav unto each of us: "Well done, thou good and fuithlul servant; enter thou into the joy of the Lord.' " MR. CAHPBI LL CHIMI.N proceed to elect a pnstor. This motion was seconded bv R V Gnrratt who spoke eloquently of Mr Campbell's fitness for the position and the remarkable unani mity of the people in choosing himas pas tor. Mr. Lewis Rrown gugirested that Mr. Hlnir might uot have fully understood Mr. Graham's remarks. Col. Hatch said be was in favor of proceeding at once with the tdtetion. It bad been shown that the Sunday evening pvaver meeting was almost ns largely attended as the old time evening service, and the church was enjoying an unusual tieriod of har mony and prosperity. It was suggested, ns the meeting was largely of this opinion, that Mr Kngan's motion be substituted for Mr. Blair's. Mr. Engan's motion was put to vote and carried, only Mr. Blair and Mrs Fulton voting against it. The meeting was then just wbero it started, and the moderator called for a nomination. Mr. Eagan nominated Mr. Campbell for pastor at a salary of $18(10 a year. The motion was seconded and carried unanimously, Mr. Blair explain ing that he was in favor of Mr. Camp bell, but only wished to defer the election till the vear be had been chosen for had expired. Rev R. G. Pierson congratu lated the congregation on their choice. He snid "I know men and I know preach ers, and vou have chosen a goodly man who preacbes a simple gospel, keeping himself behind tiie cross of Christ. A HI'CCFHN AT THK NT KT. NOT A SHORT SESSION The Onulnxof Hi -Mundav Meet I it a at (lie Opera HouHe. The citizens of Asheville. who believe in every good work undertaken by men of the city, would have been pleased had they seen the audience which gathered at the opera house yesterday at the Y. M. C. A. meeting The number of men pres ent must have reached liOO, the first flout seats being full, and many in the gallery. The music was under the direction of Fitch Taylor, who was assisted bv an orchestra composed of piano, violins, viola and cornet. There had been dis tributed by the ushers song cards f r nearly every man, and as a result the music was good. The song service lasted about thirty minutes, during which time two cornet solos were given bv G. W. Gates, with pleasure to the audience. Several ministers were on the platform and assisted in the services, key. B. C. Avis, who is assisting the First M. E. church in a series of meetings, was pres ent and sang two solos, entitled "The Model Church" and "The Two Lives." Mr. Avis possesses the rare combination of speaking and singing ability, and has worked with Messrs. Moodvand Sankev in some of their evangelistic campaigns. The speaker of the afternoon was the Rev. R. (i. Pearson, who preceded bis address bv speaking of bis pleasure at seeing so many men together in such a meetinvj and complimented the commit tee having; the meetings in charge for the work it w;is d Mng. His address, which was 011 " The Prodigal Son," lasted for an hour, and the attention of the audience was held to the last. IPs plain wonts to all classes of men, especially prodigals, were impressive, and at the close tmtiv arose in response to four propositions stated by Mr. I'carson Announcement was ma te that for sev eral Sunrtavs, at least meetings would continue to be held and some able speak ers have been arranged t r. 1 he Rev. Mr. Campbell, pastor of the Presbyte rian church, will be the speaker next Sun day, and a (piintctc of instruments, be sides vocal solos and duets, with a full chorus of voices, will provide the music. The committee makes t he statement that it will seek to arrange cheerful and at tractive meetings and audiences can al ways depend upon good speaking and music. FAHII.V UtiHT. Tbe Choice finally Made I' nan I moan. At the conclusion ol the sermon reports of the committees ui church work were rend, and showed most gratifying rc suite, particularly the report of the com mittce for visiting strangers which showed that 254 visits had been made The chairman. Miss Evelyn West, made 'J visits tiersell. Mr. Cnmpliell, after requesting the congregation to remain, retired Irom the church. Key. R. U. ..Parson then dc- eended from the pulpit and announced that be had been n quested to act as moderator ol the meeting that had Ih-ch called to elect a pastor. Mr. Graham said that tbe committee lor choosing a pastor at this meeting had dcidcd to postpone that duty for a while. He had vottri with the committee, but he had since learned that it is the opinion of Mr. Campbell's physician, that in all pronanilitr bis health would soon per mit him to resume the evening service; and Mr. Orar.am had received Mr. Cuttin bell's assurance that it he were chosen pastor and found himself physically tin equal to his duties, he would not stand in the way ot the chutch calling a stronger man. It was Mr. Graham's opinion that tbe election should proceed at once. Mr. W. P. Blair made a motion, secon ded by Mr. Dukes, that the election be indefinitely postponed. Mr. Eagan moved that, as no reason bad been as signed for postponement, tbe mcctiutc A Father Badlv Wounds Mia son and I'lees Dr. YV. F.

The fact that Senators from the Northwestern States are not unanimous on the silver question, and that some of them will probably vote to repeal the Sherman silver pur chasing; law. seems to lend added interest to the contests which were pending when Senate adjourned, in extra session, in April last in the case of the Senators from Montana, Wyoming and Washing ton. These three contested cases will prob ably bring on a protracted preliminary fight before the senate can settle clown to business for which extra session con venes. The right of a senator to take his seat is the question of highest privilege and senators on one side or other of the silver question are sure to demand decision on these cases liefore any vote is taken on the Sherman law. In addition to these patent probabilities of delay, there are to lie acted upon the resolu tions of investigation in the case of Sen ator W. N. Koach of North Dakota upon which a hot partisan debate is inevitable. Ex-Senator I. B. Henderson of Mis souri in a long letter to Secretary Car lisle discusses the financial situation, takinc the stand in favor of a gold stan dard of value. In reply to the assertion that such standard is sought by capital as a means of extorting higher rates of interest, Henderson thinks it is sufficient to say that in every country having a single standard interest rates are scarcely half the prevailing rates here. Present commercial conditions, he says, are not the result of speculation, bu' the result of silver legislation of Congress. Under tbe operation of the Sherman law, the remarkable fact was disclosed that no amount of exportation ot mer chandise can stay t he shipment of gold from 'he I nited Mates. The moment Congress declares a gold standard, savs Mr. Henderson, loreign deposits will return and American secu rities will again go abroad, and fold re ceived therefor will stimulate every bianch of business. It is not poverty hut distrust that affects the country. With gold standard the last seventeen vears would have given us enormous wealth and abundant currency. WHO IM THIS? can He Be Our Old Friend "The -rattler" T Waynesville, N. C, Tuly 3. Snecial A wild looking man, with g- ?ra1 nppearance of having at one time been a resident of Hickory, N.

" THK PKICK OF tII.V-K It Itt 1'p and Dnwn and fjt Mo Purchases Washington, July 3. Secretary Car lisle has decided not to resume the pur chase of silver today, for the reason that the Treasury Department has not yet completed its annual settlements made at the end of the fiscal year at the United States mints. Whether silver purchases will he resumed on Wednesday will not be determined till Wednesday, and circum stances will then decide the matter. The p ice paid for silver when the Treasury Pepartnn nt completed its Juue pur chases was S2.HO cents per ounce. Since then it has declined to 62 cents per ounce and is quoted today at 73 80 cents per ounce. T M !: JIONKTAKV tSTRIItUKPSCV Can't iplv Kor a Collecor's Offlce If Vou Whiii II.
